Cop Sentenced to 15 Years for Faking a Â‘War on CopsÂ’, Shooting Herself and Blaming Fake Â‘Black ManÂ’Post Date: 2018-10-04 16:06:17 by hondo684 CommentsA judge handed down a seemingly unprecedented 15-year sentence to a Georgia cop who perpetuated a fake war on cop by falsely claiming she'd been shot. In an unprecedented sentence, Superior Court Judge Thomas Wilson made Hall, 43, pay for her crimes. He gave her 15 years in prison followed by another 23 years on probation. It was dumbfounding that she went to trial, District Attorney James Moss said. She never took responsibility. She invented out of whole cloth a black man who shot her, and if law enforcement hadnt done their jobs right, we could have had a gentleman wrongly charged with a crime. Her story, which sounds like a kindergartner made it up, ...

East Pittsburgh Shooting: A Sober Look at a True TragedyPost Date: 2018-07-27 12:13:06 by Gatlin2 Comments As a retired cop, I see my current calling as speaking about, writing about, and discussing the causes and effects of de-policing in America. Another part of my job is to defend law enforcement officers who are unfairly attacked, which leads to de- policing. I also try to make complex calls more understandable to the public from one police officers perspective. Remember, in most professions, when a person makes an honest mistake a steak is overcooked, numbers are added incorrectly, or mail is delivered to the wrong address. If cops make mistakes, people can die. Having said this, the recent tragic shooting of a black 17-year-old by a white police officer in East Pittsburgh, ...

Bears in blue: How a teen girl keeps the memory of fallen officers alivePost Date: 2018-06-30 07:31:15 by Gatlin0 Comments Megan OGrady cant recall how she came up with the idea. She had never sewn anything in her life and her family didnt own a sewing machine. She just knew she had to give families something to hold on to  a piece of what theyd lost. She learned every step from her grandmother  how to stuff, sew and embroider. Constructing each bear was a lengthy process. She had to cut the uniform, stuff the head, body and limbs, and stitch the pieces together. Then add the eyes and nose, and embroider a shield on the chest, personalized to include the officers last name and badge number. She placed stripes on the shoulder for rank or service, and a blue ribbon ...

Sixth Circuit Decision: The officer had a warrant, so the veteran can't sue for false arrest (though he might have been more successful had he raised different claims).

Jury awards family four dollars in wrongful death suit against copsPost Date: 2018-06-01 13:49:37 by Tooconservative15 Comments This is a rather creepy story out of Florida (where else) which deserves a bit more attention. Four years ago, Florida Sheriffs Deputy Christopher Newman shot and killed Gregory Vaughn Hill Jr. while responding with his partner to reports of a disturbance involving loud music. Since Hill was black and Newman is white, an investigation was immediately convened with the usual media focus on possible motivations involving racism. A grand jury was convened to examine the case and they opted not to indict Newman, placing nearly all the blame on Hill for the result of the encounter. That led to a wrongful death suit being filed by Hills family in civil court. That case drew to a ...
